- whether the appeal scheme would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed dwellinghouse
- whether satisfactory parking provision would be made
- whether the appeal scheme would achieve mandatory biodiversity net gain (BNG)
What decided it
The harmful impacts on character and appearance, living conditions and parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in an area lacking a five-year supply.
The benefits of housing delivery in an area without a five-year housing land supply were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, and parking provision.
